The Anzali Free Zone has always been of interest due to its coastal location, but implementing lighting projects here is not a simple task due to specific weather conditions such as high humidity and wind, and it requires high technical precision. We at Erfan Sanat know that to have a beautiful and durable urban element, we must use strict standards.
The “Galactic Light Ceiling” project in one of the main boulevards of the Anzali Free Zone is an excellent example of this technical precision. By covering the boulevard with dimensions of 24 by 24 meters, this structure has created a modern and attractive space that catches the eye. Our goal in this project was not just to illuminate the street; rather, we wanted to give a fresh and pleasant face to the city’s space through smart design and principled execution, so that citizens and tourists feel good when passing through this boulevard and enjoy its beauty.
Technical Specifications and Structural Framework
For a large light ceiling to be able to operate for years without issues, the stability of this project against environmental forces directly depends on the quality of the structural design and the strength of its connections. In the Anzali “Galactic Light Ceiling” project, we used a combination of precise engineering and high-quality materials to ensure that this structure is not only beautiful but also highly stable.
Solid Foundation and Bracing
The first step in executing any large urban element is having solid foundations. We considered four 9-meter triplet bases as the main columns. To hold up this 24 by 24-meter ceiling, we used a system called “tensile bracing,” which acts similar to ship ropes.
- Steel Wire Ropes: Size 10 steel cables (wire ropes) were used to connect the bases to each other and to the ground turnbuckles. The total length of these wire ropes is about 200 meters, which well withstands wind pressure.
- Arrangement of String Lights: To arrange thousands of string lights side by side, we used finer wire ropes of sizes 1.5 and 2, totaling more than 1500 meters in length. This large number of wire ropes allows the string lights to hang evenly and neatly, giving the space under the ceiling a wavy and natural feel.
- Standard Connections: All connection points were reinforced with special metal parts (U-bolts) in various sizes (2, 6, and 12) so that no pressure is applied to a single specific point and the lifespan of the structure is increased.
Central Light Sphere
At the center of this ceiling, there is a luminous sphere with a diameter of 1.8 meters, which is built with an exclusive metal structure and connected to the top of the ceiling by thicker wire ropes. This sphere is not just a decoration; rather, it maintains the visual balance of the entire design and, when illuminated, draws the focus of attention to itself.
Lighting and String Lights
To create the “galactic” effect, we used 1600 meters of 220V LED string lights. The choice of 220V string lights was smart because it allows us to cover a vast area without severe light drop. The warm golden color of the string lights creates a beautiful contrast with the cool blue light of the central sphere, which gives a modern and eye-catching face to the boulevard.
Intelligent Control System; Remote Access
One of the distinguishing features of the “Galactic Light Ceiling” in the Anzali boulevard of Gilan is not just its visual beauty, but the smartness of the system that works behind the scenes. We at Erfan Sanat believe that professional lighting should be both energy-efficient and very simple and convenient to control for urban managers or owners.
Central Electrical Box: All electrical connections of this large structure have been transferred to a standard central control box. This box, designed and assembled by the Erfan Sanat technical team, has high safety features:
- Complete Sealing: Considering the high humidity of Anzali, the electrical box is designed to be completely waterproof so that internal components are not damaged against rain and moisture.
- Standard Components: The use of high-quality contactors, residual current devices (RCD), and fast-acting fuses ensures that in case of any power fluctuation, the main system of the string lights does not suffer damage.
- Safe Voltage Conversion: City electricity (220V) is not directly connected to the string lights here; instead, it is converted to a safe 24V voltage through switching transformers. In addition to increasing the lifespan of the LEDs, this also ensures the safety of pedestrians.
Astronomical Timer and Mobile Control: To eliminate the need to manually turn the lights on and off, an “astronomical timer” is used. This device calculates the sun’s position and automatically adjusts the turn-on and turn-off times of the lights. Also, by using Erfan Sanat’s smart website, the user can change lighting patterns and colors remotely via a mobile phone.
Anzali Boulevard Lighting; A Symbol of Beauty and Photography
By creating a dreamy atmosphere in the heart of the boulevard, this structure has become a popular destination for photography and night recreation. The combination of the golden color of the string lights with the blue light of the central sphere has created a modern and eye-catching face that attracts every passerby. Furthermore, the ability to change lighting patterns and colors ensures that the boulevard’s space is always dynamic and suitable for various urban events.
Project Execution; Guaranteeing Quality and Durability
Success in urban lighting projects is not limited only to visual beauty; rather, it is the direct result of precision in technical calculations, selection of standard materials, and principled execution. At Erfan Sanat Company, the process of designing and executing lighting elements is carried out under the strict supervision of the engineering team to guarantee stability and efficiency in the long term. If your goal is to create a distinct, sustainable, and professional space in your urban or commercial environment, the Erfan Sanat technical team is ready to deliver the best result for your investment by providing specialized consultation and precise execution.
